It finally got delivered today. It came in a closed trailer to boot. Only prob is damage to the T top 3 large gouges. Driver says he'll pay to fix w/o ins. Will get checked tomorrow at the body shop. A swift cleaning sure made a big difference. Jumping for joy. Got smogged, titled and registered today also

How the hell did the driver f-up your T-top like that??? Depending on how old the paint job is, that top may not be easy to paint match...

Thanks for the information. This is a good example for guys who think these cars are worth $12K.
